Can’t go on this way

Can’t go on this way

[verse]
My heart’s tempted to tell you the truth.
Say how I feel about you.
It could mean the end of our friendship
but it’s something that I must do.
[pre chorus]
I can’t go on pretending
I’m not in love with you.
Maybe we’ve been friends too long?
to feel the way I do.
[Chorus]
I don’t want to lose you
but I can’t go on this way.
No I can’t, no I can’t
No, I can't go on this way.
[guitar solo]
[verse]
Your heart’s tempted to tell the truth.
Say how you feel about me.
It could mean the end of our friendship
if you’re not in love with me.
[Pre chorus]
you can’t go on pretending
you’re not in love with me.
Maybe we’ve been friends too long.
To set our emotions free.
[chorus]
I can’t go on pretending
I’m not in love with you.
No, I can’t, no, I can’t
No, I can't go on this way.
[verse]
We torture ourselves with our silence.
We ache for each other's kiss.
It’s insane that we can’t be honest.
We can’t carry on like this.
[outro]
Tonight we’ll both know the truth.
I love you and you love me.
I love you and you love me.
I love you and you love me.

Enjoyed that Carroll, lovely song well written as always. Captured the emotions in the simplicity of the theme.

Particularly like this:

Maybe we’ve been friends too long.

To set our emotions free.

Lovely.

Well done.

Nice! I'd be tempted in v2 to make it a question: Is your heart tempted...? Leave the tension there. Does the other person feel the same way? Keep the listener wondering.
